Tigres UANL vs Tijuana – Jornada 11 Recap and Highlights

Tigres UANL earned a 1-0 victory against 10-man Tijuana. The result is a fourth straight win for the universitarios, who remain unbeaten in six, while the Xolos saw their three-game unbeaten streak halted as they remain winless on the road this season.

The hosts had the better of the run of play from the beginning, with Eduardo Vargas having a good chance to open the scoring in the 9th minute, only to send his shot wide. André-Pierre Gignac then tried his luck with a bicycle kick in the 34th minute, but Gibrán Lajud was able to make the save.

Finally, just before halftime, Tigres got their reward. In the 43rd minute, André-Pierre Gignac made it 1-0 with his shot from distance that froze the keeper to his line.

In the second half, Tigres looked to add to their advantage. Juninho sent a free kick just wide in the 54th minute before Gignac forced a save out of Lajud from another free kick in the 70th minute.

Tijuana generated almost no chances throughout the game, and their chances of finding an equalizer took a blow in the 79th minute when Alejandro Guido was sent off after receiving his second yellow card of the night.
